I can't edit php.ini, and PHP is locked. I never had this error before (sometimes a Page not found-like on heavy pages like RecentChanges). On the current host I can easily choose PHP4 or PHP5. In the past I tried without success to go to php5, I'll retry for MW 1.6.2 but I think I'll not have more memory, and PHP5 is locked as PHP4.
I plan to migrate to a new host more powerful, but I wait they switch from mysql 4 to 5. While waiting, I must make my current version work.

same big bad error :(
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 46 bytes) in /var/www/.../maintenance/InitialiseMessages.inc on line 146 or 11 bytes in LanguageUtf8.php on line 50.
An 8 megabyte memory limit is simply too small, and causes many operations to fail, such as message initialization. PHP is very wasteful of memory; simply loading up the code eats up the majority of that 8 megabytes.
Quite simply you will have to raise it. If the installer didn't raise it for you, it's probably because your PHP is locked down so tight that it can't do it itself. You'll need to edit php.ini.
